NovelFinishChapter 79 Everyone stopped smoking in unison, the synchrony was uncanny.
This scene made Eloise feel both embarrassed and irritated.
She had never tried to stop Harvey from smoking. He was a law unto himself at home, smoking even in bed. Sometimes when he was in a good mood, he'd plant a kiss on her.
He was such a cad! However, it did give her a perverse pleasure to see all these high-ranking people groveling in front of Harvey. With a charming smile, Harvey asked, "Ms. Laurent, is this respectable enough for you?" Eloise knew that all the ugly rumors would crumble on their own, and many would rush to placate Harvey, and in doing so, clear her name.

The crowd had already cleared a prspot for Harvey and Eloise to sit. Several school leaders looked on at Eloise with affection, "Eloise, you should take good care of Attorney." Eloise responded with a faint smile.
Throughout the evening, people kept coming over to Harvey's table to share a drink.
Harvey could hold his liquor, but he was mindful of who he was drinking with.
In this banquet hall, no one held more power than him, so he didn't need to respect anyone. But he maintained a polite demeanour, substituting water for alcohol, and exchanged pleasantries.
Eloise, accustomed to looking after him, naturally served him food.
Veronica was sitting across from her, looking unusually happy.
Finally, someone could take care of Eloise! You silly girl, she better be happy! She trusted Harvey's attitude. Even if he didn't marry Eloise, he wouldn't let her down.
The banquet hall was bustling, but Ravenna was standing at the entrance.
She was still in shock, feeling incredibly awkward. She wanted to make Eloise uncomfortable, but instead, she ended up embarrassing herself. Her expensive dress suddenly felt like a joke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEloise was with Harvey! Why her? What did Ravenna lack compared to Eloise? Jealousy stirred up anger in Ravenna. She picked up a glass of red wine and walked over to Harvey and Eloise. "Attorney, I'm Eloise's college mate. Nice to meet you," she said, smiling sweetly.
Harvey was enjoying Eloise's attention when Ravenna showed up. He recognized her instantly as Max's little mistress! Harvey picked up a napkin and wiped his hands, a picture of elegance. Men from distinguished families were different, and every finger seemed like a work of art. Harvey discarded the napkin, turned to Eloise and asked in a considerate boyfriend tone, "I know her. Would you mind?" This left Ravenna a little embarrassed.
People turned their heads in their direction. Ravenna and Max's secret affair was an open secret, as Max didn't seem to care about hiding it.
Ravenna was bold enough to openly flirt with Harvey in front of Eloise!
Eloise was well aware of Harvey's Sveasn't going to fall for it "That's your prerogative." Harvey pinched her face, letting her off the hook.
Then, surprisingly, he stood up, turned to Ravenna and said imam polite tone Ms. Ravenna, I accept En your drink." Everyone in the room was taken aback. Was Attorney's taste so unique? With a charming smile, Harvey changed the subject, "But I drove here, and I have
to take Eloise hlater! Max, you brought a driver, right? Could you drink this wine on my behalf with Ms.
Ravenna?"
